Well i just ran the average days on the market, so far this year there have been 48 condos and town homes sold there and the average days on the market has been 28.

I hope all is well. Avalon Park, as well as Metrowest, are great, but its unlikely you will find a high quality property in those areas at $150. St Cloud is a great area especially since its near Lake Nona, and HOA's are relatively low. There are other places in South Orlando that would fit your budget perfectly. Give me a call, and I'll find a few places for us to have a look at.

As an agent I know that I can usually get more money for the customer if I have more commission dollars to work with.... more
